Ovulation on one ovary for 6 consecutive months

It is well known that every normal woman has two ovaries. Because of infertility or irregular menstruation, after monitoring ovarian ovulation for several consecutive months, it was found that only one ovary ovulated every month, and the other side ovulated in the next month, forming a fixed pattern. It is normal for one ovulatory follicle to ovulate at one time for six consecutive months. Two ovaries will not ovulate at the same time. This article introduces how to monitor ovulation. Let’s take a look.

A woman's two ovaries can ovulate, and basically the two sides ovulate alternately. It is also possible that only one side ovulates for several months in a row, which is normal. Generally, only one follicle can be released at a time, and it is rare for both ovaries to ovulate at the same time.

How to seize the ovulation period?

First of all, it should be pointed out that even for women with regular menstrual cycles, the ovulation day is not fixed, but is generally on the 14th day, and sometimes there can be a difference of 2-3 days. Since sperm can survive in the woman's body for about 3 days, and the egg has a strong fertilization ability for only about 1 day after being released, and preferably within 12 hours. Therefore, the three days before ovulation and one day after ovulation are called the "ovulation period", which is commonly known as the "dangerous period". This dangerous period is for people who take contraceptive measures. For those of us who want to get pregnant, it is the "lucky pregnancy period", so we must make good use of this period.

How do you know if you ovulated?

Normal ovulation refers to the rupture of the ovarian follicle and the release of the egg. For women who have their menstrual cycle, the most common methods of assessing ovulation include: basal body temperature measurement, changes in cervical mucus, luteinizing hormone peak measurement, and serial ultrasound monitoring.

Why monitor ovulation?

The most important purpose of monitoring ovulation is to monitor the growth of follicles and track the number of follicles and their morphological changes during their growth and development. In this way, doctors can estimate the time of egg maturity based on the development of follicles, so as to guide the timing of sexual intercourse or arrange the time for artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization or egg retrieval.
